SCRIPTURE

"And Jehovah spake to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed." — 2 Chronicles 33:10 (ASV)

And the Lord spake to Manasseh.By the hand of his servants the prophets. See

2 Kings 21:10–15, where the substance of the prophetic message is given; and it is added (2 Chronicles 33:16) that Manasseh also shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to the other. The reaction against the reforms of Hezekiah ended in a bloody struggle, in which the party of reform was fiercely suppressed.
